Visualizing in live cells (6 pts + 1 bonus) Look at the expression/reporter constructs depicted below....
Look at the expression/reporter constructs depicted below. Each gene is named (and individually colored), and each one has its own promoter (also individually colored). Note that the cassette labeled “D” is illustrated under two different conditions (Di and Dii). Α. Glutaminase Parvalbumin tTA mcherry mcherry 4. Keep in mind that the components of each construct (promoter and gene) can be engineered using molecular tools, such that promoters and genes can be cut and pasted, and rearranged. If you wanted to...
1. Gene B is usually expressed only in skin cells. To learn about the mechanism by which expression of the gene B is regulated, you make clones that contain a GFP reporter and various parts of the upstream and downstream intergenic regions of genomic DNA that normally surround gene B (black lines) as shown in the figure below. The resulting clones were introduced into frog skin cells growing in the lab and levels of GFP expression was monitored by measuring...
What control elements regulate expression of the mPGES-1 gene? The promoter of a gene includes the DNA immediately upstream of the transcription start site, but expression of the gene can also be affected by control elements. These can be thousands of base pairs upstream of the promoter, grouped in an enhancer. Because the distance and spacing of these control elements make them difficult to identify, scientists begin by deleting sections of DNA that contain possible control elements and measuring the...

Section C (40 marks) Answer ALL questions from this Section 5. You have isolated total RNA from muscle cells and constructeda muscle cDNA library. You wish to study the regulatory region of a muscle-specific cDNA gene (gene M) that you have previously identified. 6 (a) For your study, you need to isolate a genomic clone of gene M. Why isa cDNA clone of gene M not appropriate for your study? (2 marks) (b) Outline the steps you would...

expressed at high levels, comparable to its expression in the absence of trp 6. Based upon what you have learned about the E. coli trp operon, what could you say about expression of its structural genes in cells with large amounts of environmental trp, but expressing a mutant trp repressor that is unable to bind trp? A. The trp operon would be completely repressed due to the abundance of trp B. The trp operon would be transcribed much less than...
Hagrid has purified a protein from unicom sweat and called UNI-1. He has then doned the Unit gone and inserted in rat zygotes (by microinjection) a recombinant construct containing the Uni-1 coding sequence its entire 5 UTR region, covering both the minimal promoter and a series of cutative regulatory als elements. The mutantrats develop glorious, luminous hair. Hagrid has also discovered that the UNI-1 protein binds very tightly to DNA and hypothesizes it is a transcription factor that regulates proliferation...
